Images of covered-up storefronts in major cities, including New York City and Washington, D.C., have given a dreadful warning of what could come Tuesday night.
“I think it’s very sad and part of the reason is it’ll all be in Democrat cities, Democrat-run cities," Trump said in an interview with "Fox & Friends" Tuesday morning, giving New York City, Baltimore, Portland, Ore., Chicago and Oakland, Calif., as examples. "And that’s because of weak leadership. Their weak, weak leadership."
He also accused left-wing radicals for being the source of the threat. "The other side is radicalized," Trump said, pointing to Antifa.
Trump said that Republican leaders are tougher, even if they do not certainly like being involved in disputes with the public. "And, you know, my side is a very strong side if they wanted to, but they don’t like doing that, you know, they’re proud of their country, they don’t want to hurt our country," Trump said.
The president then said that such a dispute would not even be necessary if officials made it clear that aggression would not be tolerated.

"Frankly, if you let people know that they will be held at bay, you wouldn’t have any problem but they don’t do that," Trump claimed. "They have the cops stand back. Stand back and watch looters walk washing machines and televisions out of stores. It’s a shame to watch it."
